Background
Autopsy released their sixth studio album, The Headless Ritual in June 2013. Building on the leftover tracks from the recording sessions that April that produced the Headless Ritual album the band returned to the studio in September to complete work on their seventh effort. The band said of the album "Tourniquets tighten... hacksaws rip... graves are filled...This is Autopsy, this is death metal. With the stench of 'The Headless Ritual' still permeating the befouled air, Autopsy has once again come for your very metal soul with their newest blood-soaked homage to all things dark, twisted and horrific... once again, bone-crushingly heavy nightmares await. 'Tourniquets, Hacksaws And Graves' will awaken the most depraved part of the coldest zombie's stare... blood will flow, brains will be destroyed, coffin lids will be opened."
